Скачать или смотреть Which makes more money: Trading or Investing? | In The Money by Zerodha

For decades, investors have argued—does slow and steady really win the race, or can speed deliver more in the markets?

I am your host, Sandeep Rao (SEBI Registered Research Analyst – INH000013059).

In this episode, we go beyond the classic Buffett vs. Simons debate to ask a practical question for individual investors: what actually makes more money—trading or investing? We break down the math, the psychology, and the structure of returns, showing why it isn’t just “one or the other” but how a smart combination can tilt the odds in your favor.

We’ll explore how long-term compounding (Buffett’s style) compares with systematic trading (Simons’ style), why investing is non-negotiable, how pledging and leverage change the game, and why many veterans dismiss trading despite its potential.
